student accommodation norwich

In the heart of Norfolk, Norwich boasts some of the UK’s most attractive University campuses. Both the University of Norwich and the University of East Anglia are located in the city hosting together a student population of around 20,000.

Its unique location means day trips from the city can take you from anywhere from the coast to the countryside. Great train links mean you’re under 2 hours from London and only a short trip from Cambridge. Buses run throughout the city center and the outskirts to both NUA and UEA every 15 minutes so even if your accommodation is not within walking distance of campus you’ll always be able to get to lectures. Norwich international airport operates daily flights across Europe and connects with the rest for the world through Amsterdam so when the pressure from exams gets too much you can hop on a flight to a sunny location and let the stress melt away.

The city is steeped in history with a number of medieval buildings castles and cathedrals to explore. It is one of only 11 UNESCO world literature sites making it one of the great literary hubs of the UK (and the world). Home to 2 major shopping centers that cater to all needs with shops from major high streets brands and smaller independent retailers selling everything from antiques to vinyl and vintage clothing.

Whilst the nightlife can’t quite match that of bigger cities like London and Manchester there more than enough to cater to students needs. Mainstream clubs like Mantra and Mercy have huge capacities and throw some great club nights. If your taste is a bit more alternative, Karma Cafe and Bedford’s Crypt hold a whole range of different nights with music covering everything from reggae to techno.

With such a large population to accommodate, Norwich student housing is incredibly varied, with halls, flats and house shares all available. Making the right choice can be a little confusing, but Student Homes is here to help you decide.
